Of course, Biden himself is blameless - if totally corrupt. But he is a mere puppet, a mouthpiece for the nameless string pullers. And those who now control events are brilliant at the successful manipulation of statistics, the subtle mix of semi truths and outright lies that make a good propagandist. The tragedy is the extent to which the public swallows it, and this is largely due, not just to control of the main media, but to the extraordinary ineffectiveness of the Republican opposition in countering this tsunami of propaganda. Elections are lost - rather than won. And the Republicans are busy losing the next one.
